Velorex Oscar three wheeler

 Complete with fabric body in unattractive shades of brown. Seen at the Motorcyclepedia museum in Newburgh NY last year.
Update; I originally posted this as unknown make, it wasn't for long, apparently it's a Velorex made in Czechoslovakia in the 1950s, powered by either a 250 single or 350 2 stroke twin. Thanks JP., Pzak..

    Yes a Velorex Oscar, not all were twins as I am the proud owner of a single cylinder 250cc one! It has a hand start lever in the cabin that is connected to the kickstart on the Jawa motorcycle powerplant. The drivetrain, gastank and most other mechanical parts came directly from Jawa's parts bin. Really fun to drive too. They made them for quite a while and a shocking number are still on the road. A few Czechs did a cross America run a few years ago and had a nice blog about it.
